[SOLVED] Auto Music File Adding.

[Otoom]

Ok well im new.

Sort of new to php too.

 

I am currently making a Music website. I would like a php script. That when i add music to the directory / folder. It will automaticly be added onto the website. I know this will be hard. But would love it if someone can help me out with it. Or maybe code something small up.

 

 

Any ideas?

http://www.php.net/mkdir for making folders

 

look for an uploading tutorial for adding music

[rarebit]

a simple way is that all uploaded music files are put in a directory(s) and there is a php file somewhere that when called list's the contents of said directories

@ rarebit.

I kno. Like when you just upload things. Without an index. It lists it. Like that?

But i dont know how to do that in a index.

Thanks.

this just extracted from something, so it'll get you going (but you'll have to play around with it!):

$dirs=opendir($base);
	while (($e=readdir($dirs))!==false)
	{
		if( (strcmp($e, '.') == 0) || (strcmp($e, "..") == 0) )
		{
			continue;
		}
		elseif(is_dir($base.$e))
		{
			print "dir: ".$base.$e."<br>";
		}
		else
		{
			print "file: ".$base.$e."<br>";
		}
	}

and $base is the directory your looking at. to do a whole directory tree you'll want to use it recursively...

[Otoom]

I found this one:

 

<?php

// open this directory 
$myDirectory = opendir("music");

// get each entry
while($entryName = readdir($myDirectory)) {
$dirArray[] = $entryName;
}

// close directory
closedir($myDirectory);

//	count elements in array
$indexCount	= count($dirArray);
Print ("$indexCount files<br>\n");

// sort them
sort($dirArray);

// print them
print("<TABLE border=1 cellpadding=5 cellspacing=0 class=whitelinks>\n");

print("<TR><TH>Filename</TH></TR>\n");
// loop through the array of files and print them all
for($index=0; $index < $indexCount; $index++) {
        if (substr("$dirArray[$index]", 0, 1) != "."){ // don't list hidden files
	print("<TR><TD><a href=\"$dirArray[$index]\">$dirArray[$index]</a></td>");
	print("</TR>\n");
}
}
print("</TABLE>\n");

 

But one problem. It find everything perfectly.

The directory. As im trying on Wamp first.

Is

 

Musix/music <= Thats where the music is stored. So i put the $dir as music.

But when i try and open it. It seems to think that the files are in the main directory and wont open the music directory where the files actually are.

Try:

 

<?php
$base="music/";
$dirs=opendir($base);
	while (($e=readdir($dirs))!==false)
	{
		if( (strcmp($e, '.') == 0) || (strcmp($e, "..") == 0) )
		{
			continue;
		}
		elseif(is_dir($base.$e))
		{
			print "dir: ".$base.$e."<br>";
		}
		else
		{
			print "file: <a href='".$base.$e."'>".$base.$e."</a><br>";
		}
	}
?> 

 

Simple matter of adding a correct hyperlink.

[Otoom]

Yep. That works.

I tryed it before. But didnt want to triple post.

Thanks for all your help guys.

 

Also. Instead of making a new topics about this. Unless you guys want me to. Slit it. But.

 

I now need to make a upload form. That has a brouse button so they can upload a song. Then when they click upload it gets saved into the directory. I will also google this.
